Dehumidifiers
What Dangers Does Indoor Humidity Present?
On a hot and humid day, it’s nearly impossible to feel completely comfortable. But the effects of humidity inside the home are a little less obvious to some people. When your home has an excess of humidity and moisture, both your health and your home’s structural integrity are at risk.

Bugs, dust mites, and mold are all unwanted house guests that thrive in the humidity. Mold is perhaps a homeowners’ worst fear, and for good reason. When mold takes over a wall in your home, the biodegradation process begins and eventually, the wall will start to break down. Imagine that happening to multiple structures in your home! A dehumidifier can help prevent mold, dust mites, and bugs from thriving within your Orlando home.
As for your health, mold is known to cause upper respiratory tract symptoms in even the healthiest of people. The presence of mold in the home has also been linked to the childhood development of asthma. When you’re looking to improve your health, a dehumidifier can go a long way in improving the conditions within your home and helping you feel your best.
What Are the Benefits of Dehumidifiers?
By purchasing a whole-house dehumidifier for your home, you can eliminate problems associated with excess moisture throughout the entire house—not just one room or area. Ozone offers dehumidifier installation services, and our experienced HVAC techniques work hard to ensure proper installation to maximize the benefits of dehumidifiers. The benefits of a whole-house dehumidifier include:
Improved air quality
Overall air quality is measured by the number of toxins in the air and by the humidity level. Reducing humidity also reduces the prevalence of dust mites and mold spores circulating in the air, leading to better air quality.
Reduced risk of mold growth
Mold thrives in a moist, humid environment. It is recommended by the CDC to keep the humidity level of your home below 50% to prevent the growth of mold. Dehumidifiers help lower the humidity level within your home.
Elimination of dust mites
Dust mites, like mold, thrive in a humid environment. Eliminating excess moisture and humidity will make your home an inhospitable environment for unwanted dust mites.
Protection of your home’s structural integrity
Mold in the home not only affects your health, but also the structural integrity of the surfaces where it grows. Humidity is also the number one culprit of wood rot. Keeping humidity at bay reduces the risk of degradation.
Increased comfort
When you continue to run the heat or air conditioning but still don’t feel comfortable, it is likely due to too much or too little humidity in the air. Keep your home comfortable while also making your air conditioning more effective with a dehumidifier!
